Well the flight was a continuation on from Sydney so I imagine 162 is probably quite an average load?

Blackpool used to have British European flights to Belfast which I think are returning. There are also charter flights to Jersey plus to the Med. I think the Dublin route will be interesting, I wonder how many Dubliners would like a weekend in Blackpool :p

Anyway, some of the schedules seems pretty hypocritical of Ryanair considering their stance on the less than daily frequencies Buzz offered.

It’s hard to pick a position on this subject, there are so many examples to bolster your position.

In my opinion the visibility in a low winged aircraft is generally better than that of a high winged aircraft. In the high winged aircraft the views are much better for the passenger but the low winged aircraft is more advantageous to the pilot who will not be blind in turns. Also a low winged aircraft will be less vulnerable to the things like crosswinds because a high winged is higher up on the crosswind gradient plus the wind has a tendency to get under the wings. Smaller things like refuelling and gear retraction which tend to also be much easier on the low wing aircraft with a high winged aircraft being harder.

From a passengers point of view the low wing aircraft seems to have the advantage as well. The appearance is more modern on a low winged aircraft but less so on a high winged aircraft. To me a high winged aircraft gives an impression of less confidence whereas me being a commercial aviation kinda guy, I like the modern, jet like looks of the low winged aircraft.

However, it is a circular argument and I’m sure others could question the low winged aircraft but that’s just my opinion on the matter.

Jay330, as wysiwyg said, the JER flights is a BAe 146 on all daily flights from LGW although in the winter a few of the less popular scheduled times go to a -Q400. Should of gone BA and got on a nice 735!

Listen guys, I’m not going to get involved in these quarrels but it has become inevitable to let it just fly over my head. All I will say is just respect that this is an aviation discussion board not a medium by which you can abuse and accuse others of things we can not prove nor deny. Life is too short for such things especially when it involves really quite a monotonous subject.

Hellaid 2, I can understand that this is an aviation topic even if it is not civilian, a mistake that occurs quite often. However, I would appreciate if you could peruse it in a much more mature way otherwise it becomes rather fatuous. If you can do this and stop posting the nonsense then all the better on you for showing you do possess a certain degree of maturity and that you can respect others perspective .
Other members, I see your point of view…..
